Hi All,
Just wanted to post information on my Fluval 13.5 build that I started in May of 2020.
Tank: Fluval Evo 13.5G
Light: Coral Box moon light (Purchased few years earlier for previous tank)
RO Unit: RO Buddie with DI unit
Auto Top Off: Smart Auto Top off ATO system
Pumps:
Stock return pump
Sicce Voyager Powerhead
Hygger Mini Wave Maker
Media
Custom made media basket(Made of egg crate) in chamber one
Bottom: Marine Pure Gems
Top: Chemi-Pure/ Filter Floss
Chamber 2 Currently Empty. Looking for suggestions.
Stock:
Fish:
1 Springerii Damsel
Current Clean Up Crew:
Blue Leg Hermits
Coral
Few unhappy Zoa Frags
2 unhappy Mushroom Frags
1 unhappy encrusting sunset monti frag
Corals have been in the tank for several months now and previously were happy until the dinoflagellates started in around October/September. Nothing new live stock wise has been added since then.
Tank is going through a major ugly phase right now and I am unsure how to treat it. I've got what I suspect are dinoflagellates and possibly some brown cyanobacteria. Zoas and Mushrooms currently open about half way only. Thankfully my fish is doing perfectly fine and eating frozen mysis shrimp like a champ.
I wanted to post a separate thread detailing what I've done so far to combat this issue would the nusance algae forum be the proper place to start a thread?
Would also love some advise on possibly improving my build
*added Auto top off system
